| Latest projection from the news center | May 16, 2012 |
Number 4000 should be posted within 1 hour.
Those of us who have followed this drama for months and years await the magic moment with breathless anticipation.
The great unanswered questions remain:
Which pair will it be in?
What level of incompetence will it reflect?

| How to see the stats? | May 17, 2012 |
I used to be able to see them by hovering my cursor over their name but I can't do that anymore, all I get is a small little 'grey' profile box. Any ideas?

| Asking questions is sooooo time-consuming | May 17, 2012 |
In my view prolific askers get their come-uppance in the sheer time involved. Posting a question, being unable to complete your translation until you get replies, evaluating the answers (if you do) and awarding points (if you do) all take time - even if it's ony 5 minutes a question, the person who asked 4000 questions has spent over 333 hours on the task.

Answered 11 and "asked" 3500+ but only between 2 languages and mostly for translations into the source language. Takes some beating imo

| Translating into a language you don't speak properly ... | May 17, 2012 |
... is indeed the problem. But if we post comments such as "Should you really be translating into this language?" it's we who get excommunicated, not the incompetent translator.

After an extensive renovation, our Hotel und Berggasthaus Alpenklang disposes now of 21 new rooms that present all comfort.
The 900-year-old Hohenwerfen Fortress towers reside high above the Salzach Valley in the South of Salzburg and can be clearly seen from far distance.
The salt found in Dürrnbergs bei Hallein lended the city and region of Salzburg its name. White gold' was being mined here as early as the time of the Celts about 1.000 years up to 50 years BC and was a most popular merchandise throughout the centuries. This is a pleasant travel in time for young and old alike based on the story of salt mining in Austria.

| Time stands still! | May 17, 2012 |
This is indeed a historic day that will live in the collective memory of Prozians throughout the four corners of the earth, a memory that will unite us all: newbies and oldies; enthusiasts and critics; cheerleaders and nay-sayers.
If only the answerers of the 4000 questions could all be somehow invited to convene in one place! If even half showed up, it would be enough to hold a small congress of Co-dependents Anonymous....
